"The road to reincarnation has collapsed, the supreme enlightenment is still incomplete, and the other
end has become inaccessible.
It's has been extremely hard."
The monk's heavily laden sigh echoed in Austin's ears.
"Sir, is it true that there is place called the Shore of Rebirth existing out there?
What kind of place is it?"
Hearing the monk's sigh, Austin couldn't help but ask.
"The other world is no longer the other world, and the reincarnation is no longer the reincarnation. It
has lost its true meaning and faded away into oblivion because people have been so stubborn to
search for it,"
the monk replied, his voice full of sadness and frustration.
Austin was confused. It was not the answer he wanted to hear.
"The truth is very simple. Don't think about the Shore of Rebirth as something that is too complicated."
The monk spoke again as if he had anticipated that Austin would not understand his words.
It did not help, however, as Austin became more confused.
After giving it some more thought, he suspected that this monk did not want to reveal any secrets about
the Shore of Rebirth.
At the thought of this, he stopped asking further, convinced that the monk would explain nothing more.
"Go ahead.
Take good care of your Number Nine Token,"
the monk instructed.
'How nice of him. He didn't mean to make things difficult for me, '
Austin murmured inwardly. He still appreciated the monk's kindness toward him.
The monk was truly mysterious, making sure not to share any information that did not need to be
shared.
Austin guessed that he knew a load of secrets that could be shocking enough to cause a panic if
normal creatures found out.
Moreover, he must have been a very powerful master when he was still alive.
Austin was not reconciled to leave empty-handed.
'Can I get something like a gift or benefit from this monk?'
he wondered.
"Ahem! Sir, I'm too weak. I don't know if I can handle the task of protecting the Number Nine Token with
the skills that I have.
Can you teach me something... anything?"
Austin finally mustered some courage and asked cautiously.
"Teach you something?"
Hearing Austin's request, the monk was surprised.
"Yes, sir. Do you know any lost cultivation methods and secret skills that you can share with me? If you
teach me some of them, I will practice hard and improve my strength, so that I can perform the task of
protecting the Number Nine Token well!"
Austin promised, patting his chest.
'This monk seemed to live a long, long time ago.
I'd be shocked if he hasn't grasped any awesome cultivation methods and secret skills of his era that
we now don't know about. If he could teach me a few of them, it'll already be a great deal of benefits!'
Austin wondered expectantly.
"Oh?"
The monk was a little surprised.
They had just met by chance, but this guy already wanted him to teach him something. That was quite
bold of him.
Once again, silence reigned between the two of them.
For a long time, the monk did not speak at all.
'Maybe my request was too assuming and impolite.
Maybe he was annoyed by my bold request?'
Austin began to regret being too straightforward in asking the monk for such a favor.
For a cultivator, the methods and secret skills he used in cultivation were of the utmost importance.
Generally, no one was willing to teach them to others that easily.
A moment later, the monk finally spoke, breaking the silence.
"Most of the methods I cultivated are Buddhist skills, and they are not suitable for you.
But since you have the Reincarnation Token, I will teach you something."
"Thank you for imparting that cultivation method to me, sir!"
Austin exclaimed loudly, overjoyed at what the monk had said.
Based on what he saw, Austin could tell that the monk's strength was beyond imagination, and the
secret technique he taught must be very powerful.
"Fate brought us to meet here.
In the principles of Buddhism, fate is the key factor of everything.
We can say that fate guided you to me so that I can teach you something.
Maybe this is destined to happen.
In which case, you don't have to thank me too much,"
the monk said slowly. His voice contained a kind of brilliant Buddhist knowledge which was grand and
sacred.
Austin had practiced Buddhism before and knew a little about some of its theories.
"What you said makes sense, sir. I agree with you.
Fate guides everything and everyone towards their destiny,"
Austin murmured as he nodded his head in agreement and praise. The monk's words inspired him.
"Well, it seems that you also have some wisdom about Buddhism, Unfortunately, you have already
cultivated other methods and your corresponding achievements are quite profound and already
advanced. As a result, you have been deeply affected by all kinds of laws and supreme enlightenment
of the mortal world. If you change to cultivate our Buddhism, it will be difficult for you to gain any
impressive achievements.
Otherwise, I could consider passing on my Buddhist method to you.
Well, just as I said, I'll teach you something else instead; something related to the reincarnation,"
the monk said to Austin, feeling guilty for turning Austin away in a pitiful tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shot out from the monk's head and instantly pierced
into Austin's Soul Sea.
'The Buddhist method! Oh! I got another idea!'
Hearing the monk's words, Austin suddenly had a brilliant idea.
"Sir, I know the two girls.
They both have Crystal Buddha Bodies.
And they have been practicing the Buddhist method this whole time.
I think that they are perfect for the cultivation of your Buddhist method,"
Austin said with conviction.
He knew that both Ivy and Sue practiced Buddhism. If they could get the inheritance from the monk,
they would greatly benefit from it.
That was why Austin summoned up his courage and suggested to the monk that he teach his
Buddhism method to the two girls.
"What? Crystal Buddha Bodies?
Well, that kind of physique is indeed suitable for cultivating Buddhism innately.
However, creatures with such a physique are very rare. I have rarely encountered any, even in my time.
Are you sure that the two girls you are talking about, really possess Crystal Buddha Bodies?"
The monk became interested after hearing Austin's recommendation.
"Sir, it is best that you have a look at them, and then you make your own judgment. Then you can
decide if I am telling the truth or not,"
Austin replied promptly. Then, with his mind, he released two streams of spiritual soul energy to
reproduce images of Ivy and Sue.
He was able to show projections that looked exactly like them, both in appearance and in aura.
Since they were his beloved wives, Austin was very familiar with every inch and every corner of their
bodies.
"Yes, you are right. They indeed have Crystal Buddha Bodies.
Well, I didn't expect that such a rare Buddhist body would be inherited successfully. And there's two of
them!
They are indeed the most suitable ones to cultivate Buddhism,"
the monk commented.
Then he fell silent again.
Like before, he didn't say anything for a long time.
Austin knew that he was seriously considering it, so he waited quietly for his final decision.
"Well, there is a saying in Buddhism that Buddha guides the pre-destined people—the chosen ones.
Now, seeing that they have Crystal Buddha Bodies, and you mentioned them to me by chance, I think it
is Lady Fate who arranged all of this!
Everything happens for a reason.
Well fine, I will pass on my Buddhist method to them."
Finally, the monk spoke out and said everything that needed to be said.
"Thank you, sir!"
Austin was overjoyed that he could get the monk's Buddhist method on Ivy's and Sue's behalf. With
this, he was sure that they would have limitless achievements in the future!
The monk in front of him was actually just a mere corpse that had been left behind. With some remnant
consciousness, he could easily suppress a semi-governing god.
It was hard to imagine how powerful he had been when he was at his peak state!
The mere thought of the sheer power could make someone's scalp tingle.
It would be a great help, even a blessing for Ivy and Sue to be taught high-grade methods from such a
powerful master.
"There is a Buddhist scripture on the table. Take it back with you and give it to them.
It records all the Buddhist methods that I had practiced in my life.
Let them read it and have them comprehend it slowly. As for how much they can comprehend and
master, it depends on their talents and ability to learn,"
the monk instructed Austin.
Whoosh!
In one swift move, the Buddhist scripture on the stone table suddenly jumped and flew over to Austin.
"Thank you, sir!"
Austin thanked him again. Then he took the Buddhist scripture with both hands and carefully put it
away.
"All right.
You'd better leave this world as soon as possible.
This is the resting place of the divine gods and they are not to be disturbed.
It's not good for any living creatures to stay here for too long. Something strange will happen to those
who don't respect this rule,"
the monk then warned Austin.
"What about you, sir?"
Austin asked curiously.
"I'm already dead. This is the best place for me to stay,"
the monk replied.
Then there was no sound.
No matter how hard Austin tried to ask the monk more questions, he got no response.
